Ingredients

  • 8 oz halloumi cheese
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ medium red onion
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano or thyme
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice halloumi into 0.5-inch-thick planks. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear halloumi 90 seconds per side until golden, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir in red onion, then add tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add spinach and oregano, stirring until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Create 4 small wells in the mixture.

  5. 5

    Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low until whites are set but yolks still jiggle, 4–5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Return halloumi to the skillet to warm through. Season with salt and pepper, then serve straight from the pan.
